Fancy eating something different?

camilleDoes the thought of Coq au Vin send your stomach rumbling or when you think of fresh crusty bread spread with the softest Brie make you drool?

Try some of best restaurants in Paris, Brussels and Lille, and while you’re there be adventurous and try some traditional local food such like bouillabaisse in Paris, potjevleesch in Lille or a glass of Gueuze, which is only brewed in Brussels.

If you have a favourite place to eat or know of a local delicacy that you think everyone should try when they visit let me know and we’ll share it. Camille
